Which technology supports the stateless assignment of IPv6 addresses? (Choose two.) = DNS = DHCPv6* = DHCP = autoconfiguration* « Show (Hide) Explanation/Reference DHCPv6 Technology Overview IPv6 Internet Address Assignment Overview IPv6 has been developed with Internet Address assignment dynamics in mind. Being aware that IPV6 Internet addresses are 128 bits in length and written in hexadecimals makes automation of address- assignment an important aspect within network design. These attributes make it inconvenient for a user to manually assign IPv6 addresses, as the format is not naturally intuitive to the human eye. To facilitate address assignment with little or no human intervention, several methods and technalogies have been developed to automate the process of address and configuration parameter assignment to IPv6 hosts. The various IPvé address assignment methods are as follows: 1. Manual Assignment An IPv6 address can be statically configured by a human operator. However, manual assignment is quite open to errors and operational overhead due to the 128 bit length and hexadecimal attributes of the addresses, although for router interfaces and static network elements and resources this can be an appropriate solution. 2. Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (RFC2462) Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAC) is one of the most convenient methods to assign Internet addresses to IPv6 nodes. This method does not require any human intervention at all from an IPv6 user. If one wants to use IPV6 SLAAC on an IPv6 node, it is important that this IPv6 node is connected to a network with at least one IPv6 router connected. This router is configured by the network administrator and sends out Router Advertisement announcements onto the link. These announcements can allow the on-link connected IPv6é nodes to configure themselves with IPv6 address and routing parameters, as specified in RFC2462, without further human intervention. 3. Stateful DHCPv6 The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) has been standardized by the IETF through RFC3315. DHCPvé6 enables DHCP servers to pass configuration parameters, such as IPv6 network addresses, to IPv6 nodes. It offers the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration flexibility. This protocol is a stateful counterpart to “IPV6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration” (RFC 2462), and can be used separately, or in addition to the stateless autoconfiguration to obtain configuration parameters. 4, DHCPV6-PD DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (DHCPv6-PD) is an extension to DHCPv6, and is specified in RFC3633. Classical DHCPV6 is typically focused upon parameter assignment from a DHCPV6 server to an IPvé host running a DHCPVvé protocol stack. A practical example would be the stateful address assignment of “2001:db8::1" from a DHCPV6 server to a DHCPv6 client. DHCPv6-PD however is aimed at assigning complete subnets and other network and interface parameters from a DHCPv6-PD server to a DHCPv6-PD client. This means that instead of a single address assignment, DHCPv6- PD will assign a set of IPv6 “subnets”. An example could be the assignment of “2001:db8::/60” from a DHCPv6-PD server to a DHCPV6-PD client. This will allow the DHCPv6-PD client (often a CPE device) to segment the received address IPv6 address space, and assign it dynamically to its IPv6 enabled interfaces 5. Stateless DHCPv6 Stateless DHCPvé6 is a combination of “stateless Address Autoconfiguration” and “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6” and is specified by RFC3736. When using stateless-DHCPV6, a device will use Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) to assign one or more IPV6 addresses to an interface, while it utilizes DHCPv6 to receive “additional parameters” which may not be available through SLAAC. For example, additional parameters could include information such as DNS or NTP server addresses, and are provided in a stateless manner by DHCPvé. Using stateless DHCPv6 means that the DHCPvé server does not need to keep track of any state of assigned IPv6 addresses, and there is no need for state refreshment as result. Gn network media supporting a large number of hosts associated to a single DHCPvé server, this could mean a significant reduction in DHCPvé messages due to the reduced need for address state refreshments. From Cisco IOS 12.4(15)T onwards the client can also receive timing information, in addition to the “additional parameters” through DHCPV6. This timing information provides an indication to a host when it should refresh its DHCPv6 configuration data. This behavior (RFO4242) is particularly useful in unstable environments where changes are likely to occur.
